The iRiver software cannot generate playlists at all (they must be loaded from a computer), and, annoyingly, it can't do basic things like "treat this directory of files as a playlist and stop when you get to the end."

This isn't true, actually. One of the play modes is "D", which means "play the files in order in this directory until the end". There is also an option to shuffle a directory, and so on. I think the record button or maybe the "A-B" button does this.

In fairness, it took me a while to find this feature.

It's the record button that allows you to switch between the different playing modes (A-B is used to replay a given part of a track). Indeed D is the mode our editor is looking for.
